Inject your sound with distinctive quality. The ES-335’s carefully-designed body is crafted to produce a naturally resonant tone that echoes around the whole room. No matter where you are. So you can count on the ES-335 to deliver a wholesome projection in any gigging or practising environment, and stun the audience with your playing. The ES-335 is hailed for its unique warmth and clarity, meaning each note you play will decorate your sound with irresistible character. A rich voice in your lead-playing. An added dimension to your chords. This is the original semi-hollow guitar.

Stunning clarity

Feedback. It’s the bane of every hollowbody guitarist’s performance. Thankfully, the ES-335 waves goodbye to such problems. Gibson are renowned for ensuring that every one of their instruments is tailored for a live setting. Which is why the ES-335’s semi-hollow design allows you to crank the volume as loud as you want, without being interrupted by any unwanted noise. Therefore, you can count on your sound to maintain exceptional clarity and definition with every note you play. Hollowbody sound, made easy.

Excel in every genre

Articulate and unique – the ES-335 is equipped with a pair of exquisite MHS P-90 pickups. They’re renowned for their unbelievable versatility, meaning you can experience a tremendous range of tonal possibilities. Taking the brightness and snap of a single-coil, and blending it with the warmth of a humbucker – P-90s offer a sound that will thrive in any style you wish.

Their distinctive sonic character remains present throughout your playing. So you can always rely on a sound that is truly unique to you. Fused with the tonal qualities of the semi-hollow body, the ES-335 gifts an authentically rich voice that always flourishes – no matter your own, personal taste.

Exceptional at any volume

Get the best out of your sound. Many guitars can lose sound quality when the volume is turned down. Dynamism can be lost and, as a result, the overall audio becomes a little darker. Thanks to the innovative Memphis Tone Circuit, wired with 500K potentiometers and ceramic capacitators, this is not an issue. Every step has been taken to preserve sound quality, ensuring tonal depth and clarity remains, regardless of the volume you're playing at.

Crafted for maximum comfort

Refined for the modern stage. The Gibson ES-335 is specially built for an effortless playing experience. First off – the neck. Sculpted into a rounded ‘C’, the single piece maple neck feels just right in the palm of your hand. Paired with a sleek rosewood fretboard, position changes have never been simpler. So you can have complete control over every inch of the guitar’s scale, and play with ultimate freedom.

There’s more to the ES-335’s immaculate playability than just the neck, though. Its semi-hollow construction creates a real sense of weightlessness in your performance. And, as a result, you can indulge in a totally unrestricted playing experience, with unlimited access to the upper frets thanks to the double-cutaway shape. No more restraints. Just you, the stage, and a guitar that’s destined for inspiring performance.

Keep your instrument secure

Taking your instrument on the road? Never fear. The ES-335 comes with a luxurious Gibson Hardshell case, giving your instrument the maximum protection it deserves. So, if you’re worried about bringing your pride and joy along with you on your travels – breathe. Keeping your guitar from any potential scrapes or bumps, you can rely on the ES-335 to be in pristine condition every time you step on stage. Peace of mind, wherever you are.
